Editor's note

Telekinesis, the Seattle band with a dream-pop touch

Michael Benjamin Lerner's project mixes indie rock with acoustic guitar work and introspective lyrics.

For a good sense of their sound, try 'Look To The East' or 'I Saw Lightning.' They frame that dream-pop quality with acoustic guitar work pretty well.

Telekinesis has built a catalog that feels personal rather than aiming for broad appeal. Songs like 'Power Lines' and 'Country Lane' show their knack for mixing folk and indie rock elements into something quietly thoughtful. Their music has caught on with listeners who appreciate that displaced, longing quality in tracks like 'Ghosts And Creatures' and 'Coast Of Carolina.'

The band started in 2007 with their self-titled debut in 2008. They followed with albums like 12 Desperate Straight Lines in 2010, Dormarion in 2013, and Ad Infinitum in 2016. Members have included Jason Albertini on bass and Gavin Riley on drums at different points.
